Algowood arriving Duluth

The self-unloading bulk freighter Algowood is here today for the second time this season. It has been here 55 times since 1996. As it usually does, it is loading about 30,000 tons of coal for Ontario Power Generation in Nanticoke. Built in 1981 in Collingwood, Ontario, it is named in honor of that town and the shipyard there. It will be a busy day in Canal Park. There should be about 12 vessels going under the Lift Bridge, although the Algowood should be on its way to Nanticoke before the sun is up. Above, it is coming into the ship canal in August, 2004.
